Bookroo's summary

Lizzie St. Claire, living in a shelter with her mom, wants to stay invisible. At Birchwood Stables, she meets a scared pony named Fire and new friends who challenge her to open up. As Lizzie learns to accept help, she faces the fear of losing everything again. Can she find the courage to embrace change and discover a true home?

From the publisher

A lyrical, poignant middle grade novel about embracing change, accepting help from others, and finding a place to call home. Perfect for fans of Raymie Nightingale. Lizzie St. Claire wants to be invisible. Forced to move out of her home, she and her mom now live in a transitional housing shelter, Good Hope, until they can get back on their feet. Lizzie just wants to keep her head down at Good Hope and her new school, so she doesn’t have to admit the real reason she and her mom lost everything. But when Lizzie finds herself at the nearby Birchwood Stables, some new friends—along with the arrival of a frightened pony named Fire—help Lizzie to open up and accept help from those around her, even if it means she’ll have more to lose if things change again.
